About This Track

This is a standout track from the album Turning Point. It is a live album which was experimental in the concept of having no drums. The haunting sax is provided by Jon Mark of the Mark-Almond band, which was a jazz-folk band, if you will. Also check out the song Room to Move from this album, a boisterous harmonica tour-de-force. The absence of drums lends a unique texture, and this is written by a drummer!

    The extended nature of this track is straight out of Traffic's Low Spark. Nice jazz feel.

    Absolutely has the feel of Traffic's John Barleycorn Album. Even John's vocal are mildly reminisent of Steve Winwood. Great ear Rich!

    This is a totally new 'first listen' track by John, for me. I think it is much more mellow as a blues number; it reminds me of both earlier John Mayall efforts and Traffic. Love the fact that it a loonnng track!!

    Not the great track from the live Turning Point album but a pretty good facsimile. Can't overstate Mayall's greatness. We're all in his debt.
